The toe is sometimes called a “saddle” because it looks like a horse’s back, that is, where the saddle is placed. Unique problems or lumps can grow on the toes, which is sometimes called saddle deformity. In medicine, this is called tongue shaped exogenic callus such as foot bone. This is overgrowth of a particular bone, which occurs at the tip of the foot at the bottom of the first spine and the bone near it. It is rarely called ocular bone malformation in clinical literature. Because the joint at the bottom of the first ulna is stuck, the bone swells. If the ulna moves too much, the bone will increase with the seizure. It may look like a hump on your toes. Due to the pressure of shoe bulge, especially when the shoelace is fastened, large bone discomfort will be caused. This may become a special problem in sports such as skiing or ice hockey. Because the boots used are quite strong, they can exert great pressure around swollen bones. This pressure can also lead to the formation of bursitis, which can cause inflammation. If there is radiation inconvenience related to this, it indicates that the nerve has been hit. Otherwise, this inconvenience is often called dull or sharp. There may be some inflammation in this area. Large bones are not difficult to see on X-ray films. The joints visible on the X-ray may also have osteoarthritis, which may cause these symptoms. More problems may manifest as saddle deformity, such as ganglion cyst or stevitis.

The best initial treatment for saddle bone deformity is to avoid closed shoes as much as possible. Because that means there is no pressure. Sometimes, the laces can be easily removed in the eyelet of the enlarged bone area, which is enough to relieve the pain. Another way to stay away from bumps is to stick pads under the tongue of the bump. The cushion can be in the shape of a ring with a hole in the center or a U shape. The felt pad has a good effect and can be pasted under the tongue of the shoe. If this is useful, you can use a longer term product, such as Folon, and stick it in place for a long time. If the saddle bone deformity is very swollen, temporary injections of cortisol and NSAIDs may be required for comfort. If this type of strategy is not applicable to saddle bone deformity, then if there is an operating table, bones can be removed or problem joints can be fused.
